A group of 4 skied Jimmy Junior, 15cm-ish of new snow last 24 hours. Descended SE on the first half with great skiing and good stability, stopped and regrouped midway. The next pitch @ ~2500m the first skier triggered a small sluff of fresh loose wet overtop of an ice crust which built momentum and pulled the skier down, they were able to stay on top but slid ~350m and over a small cliff/rockband and able to self rescue with no injuries. Weather at the time was overcast with periods of light snow.
